Trawl - Version autocomplete and outdated warnings inside VS Code

by•
Trawl connects VS Code directly to the npm registry. Open any package.json and it silently surfaces outdated dependencies as native diagnostics — red/yellow/blue underlines, just like TypeScript type errors. No commands, no terminal needed. • Semver-aware severity (major = error, minor = warning, patch = info) • Rich hover cards with live registry data • Version autocomplete with latest stable & dist-tags • One-click quick fixes to update or pin • Monorepo support with smart caching

Hey ProductHuntI built Trawl because I was tired of waiting on Dependabot to cover all my outdated dependencies. The idea was simple: surface that information directly in the editor, the same way TypeScript surfaces type errors — as native diagnostics. No new UI, no commands to remember. Just open package.json and your outdated packages are already underlined. Would love to hear feedback, and am happy to answer any questions!
